- Looks great!! And the problem with wind turbines is blade maintenance. - Bowser - 9/19/2006 6:37:53 PM
  - How about transformer wind turbines able to turn into water tight buoys during a storm? - REB - 9/19/2006 7:04:39 PM
    - You could also go the wave generator route - Tom Brosz - 9/20/2006 1:26:26 AM
